  • Mechanics-of-MobileCoin

    Technical exploration of the MobileCoin cryptocurrency

  • Synapse

    Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

    • https://matrix.org/ - It's an open, federated, E2E encrypted messaging standard. The downside is it's more complicated, so someone would need to come out with a very simple Signal-like client that just happens to use Matrix as a back-end.

  • session-desktop

    Session Desktop - Onion routing based messenger

    • Download link

  • privacytools.io

    Discontinued 🛡🛠 You are being watched. Protect your privacy against global mass surveillance.

    • Git hub link

  • Prosody IM

    IMPORTANT: due to a drive failure, as of 13-Mar-2021, the Mercurial repository had to be re-mirrored, which changed every commit SHA. The old SHAs and trees are backed up in the vault branches. Please migrate to the new branches as soon as you can.

    • It supports voice and video calls, and you use it on your own server (like prosody.im and ejabberd.im). It's also really simple to get a user to create an account on a server you run/a public one and.... it does not require a phone number or an email address.

  • fast_yaml

    Fast YAML native library for Erlang / Elixir

    • It supports voice and video calls, and you use it on your own server (like prosody.im and ejabberd.im). It's also really simple to get a user to create an account on a server you run/a public one and.... it does not require a phone number or an email address.

  • Conversations

    Conversations is an open source XMPP/Jabber client for Android

    • conversations.im is a open-source, privacy focused and secure messaging app, that implements OMEMO (which is Signal protocol adapted for XMPP). I won't say it's non-profit as the guy leading the project does it as his own full-time job.
